SAND87-0039 Unlimited Release Printed December 1987 Distribution Category UC-70 INTERPRETATIONS OF SINGLE-WELL HYDRAULIC TESTS CONDUCTEDATANDNEAR THE WASTE ISOLATION PILOT PLANT (WIPP) SITE, 1983-1987 Richard L. Beauheim Earth Sciences Division Sandia National Laboratories ABSTRACT Both single-well and multiple-well hydraulic tests have been performed in wells at and near the WlPP site as part of the site hydrogeologic-characterization program. The single-well tests conducted from 1983 to 1987 in 23 wells are the subject of this report. The stratigraphic horizons tested include the upper Castile Formation: the Salado Formation; the unnamed, Culebra, Tamarisk, Magenta, and Forty-niner Members of the Rustler Formation; the Dewey Lake Red Beds; and Cenozoic alluvium. Tests were also performed to assess the integrity of a borehole plug isolating a pressurized brine reservoir in the Anhydrite 111 unit of the Castile Formation. The types of tests performed included drillstem tests (DST's), rising-head slug tests, falling-head slug tests, pulse tests, and pumping tests. The Castile and Salado testing was performed at well WIPP-12 to try to define the source of high pressures measured at the WIPP-12 wellhead between 1980 and 1985. The tests of the plug above the Castile brine reservoir indicated that the plug may transmit pressure, but if so the apparent surface pressure from the underlying brine reservoir is significantly lower than the pressure measured at the wellhead. The remainder of the upper Castile did not show a pressure response differentiable from that of the plug. All attempts at testing the Salado in WIPP-12 using a straddle-packer DST tool failed because of an inability to locate good packer seats. Four attempts to test large sections of the Salado using a single-packer DST tool and a bridge plug were successful. All zones tested showed pressure buildups, but none 3
